Destiny has a hand in Cousens’s touching debut. Minnie Cooper and Quinn Hamilton were born in the same hospital on January 1, 1990, but while Quinn, whose family bagged the cash prize for having the first baby born in the ’90s, has always loved his birthday, Minnie’s New Year’s celebrations have always gone horribly and she believes the holiday is jinxed. New Year’s Eve 2019 is no different: she’s dragged to her boyfriend’s work friend’s party, someone vomits on her shirt, and she manages to lock herself in the washroom while trying to clean it up. She isn’t rescued until the next morning—by Quinn. The days after go from bad to worse for Minnie as her catering business approaches the brink of ruin and her landlord evicts her from her apartment. Surprisingly, Quinn swoops in to save the day again, proving himself unworthy of the hatred Minnie’s carried for him all these years for claiming the money her family desperately needed. Flashbacks to New Year’s past and subplots about both Quinn and Minnie’s families add depth, while hilarious secondary characters inject levity in just the right places. The romance is slow to sizzle, but Cousens’s debut is ripe with both emotional vulnerability and zaniness.

Narrator Hannah Arterton's vocal range enhances every emotion in this clever rom-com--even the deep groan that punctuates the strained conversation as two women talk through birthing pains. Quinn and Mini are born minutes apart, but only Quinn has the distinction of being the first baby born in London in 1990. Mini grows up hating Quinn, but the two don't meet until a chance encounter at a New Year's party 30 years later. As the two continue to cross paths, Mini finds her resentment fading. Arterton's nuanced delivery of dialogue keeps listeners engaged: A chef barking insults at an underling, speech becoming slurred as a character pre-games before a Tinder date, and an ecstatic friend shouting to others are just a few examples.
